Tic, Tic, Tic

[Intro]
(Now the Hungry i proudly presents
The Kingston Trio)

Uno, dos, tres, cinco
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

[Chorus]
Tic, tic, tic! Ev'rybody lookin'
Tic, tic, tic! See them all a-searchin'
Tic, tic, tic! That's all they're hearin'
But they couldn't find out where the watch was hidin'

[Verse 1]
What a confusion
A fellow lost his watch in a railway station
What a confusion
A fellow lost his watch in a railway station
An attractive girl named Melda
Was accused of being a burglar
She had no purse, no pocket in her clothes
So where she hid the watch only goodness knows
And you hearin'

[Chorus]
Tic, tic, tic! Ev'rybody lookin'
Tic, tic, tic! See them all a-searchin'
Tic, tic, tic! That's all they're hearin'
But they couldn't find out where the watch was hidin'

[Verse 2]
Under suspicion
They took her down to the police station
And they called on the matron
Who examined all the clothes she had on
The matron examined with care
She even made her take down her long hair
She searched 'til she couldn't search no more
But the watch now tickin' louder than before
And you hearin'

[Chorus]
Tic, tic, tic! Ev'rybody lookin'
Tic, tic, tic! See them all a-searchin'
Tic, tic, tic! That's all they're hearin'
But they couldn't find out where the watch was hidin'

[Verse 3]
Confusion now in the station
Matron searchin' by inspiration
Watch tickin' louder and louder
Matron movin' up closer
The matron convinced there's no doubt
She put her hand inside Melda's mouth
Do you know her idea came true?
When she found the watch, it was ten to two
Still tickin'

[Chorus]
Tic, tic, tic! Ev'rybody lookin'
Tic, tic, tic! See them all a-searchin'
Tic, tic, tic! That's all they're hearin'
But they couldn't find out where the watch was hidin'

Tic, tic, tic! Ev'rybody lookin'
Tic, tic, tic! See them all a-searchin'
Tic, tic, tic! That's all they're hearin'
But they couldn't find out where the watch was hidin'
